because i did since I thought that the casey bat's attack was better than magicant therefore it's better because i don't read item descriptions and never realized that the casey bat has a very low chance of hitting. did anyone else try and beat ness's nightmare with the casey bat on first playthrough?

wait you needed to use dragonite? i literally just spammed bash and lifeup with the magicant bat. i thought casey bat was better because of higher power but it has such a high miss chance that it's not worth usingyeah but i quickly realized i needed to use the dragonite did anyone else try and beat ness's nightmare with the casey bat on first playthrough?

My friends and I have an inside joke related to EB, even though we're a friend group of 5 and only 2 of us have actually played it.
The joke is that I look like Paula/Paula is me but pixelated/I'm Paula's IRL doppelganger/pretty much anything to that effect.
The joke got started when (Friend A who plays both EarthBound and Smash) drew a picture of Ness saying “PK Fire” on a paper (Friend B). Me, being the random lore-related facts geek I am, asked to also draw something on the paper and I drew Paula with an arrow pointing to her saying “actually knows PK Fire”. (Friend B) (who knows absolutely nothing about EB or the characters btw) kept the paper in the front of their binder.
Fast forward to a few months later, we're in the library and (Friend B) is looking at the paper again. They go “It's you *points to my Paula drawing* and Ness!” and I'm like “Me? That's Paula!” and then they say “…I thought it was you. It looks like you.”
So yeah. I think it's pretty cute and I find it really funny. Plus, they're not exactly wrong lol. I have short hair that kind of looks like hers (though it's brown and my bangs are different), and I tend to gravitate towards more “girly”/feminine clothing. xD

i despise grindingI know you said controversial opinion, but I COMPLETELY disagree because of one thing. The ending. I feel like Mother 2 has a better story than Mother because of the way loose ends are tied up in Mother 2 as opposed to Mother. Controversial opinion: Earthbound is the weakest game in the series.
Earthbound's gameplay is mid and it's suuuuch a struggle to get through, I haven't finished Earthbound to this day even though I've started the game a bunch of times. And the story doesn't have much to offer, even Mother 1 has a waaaaaay better story and characters. So many people treat Earthbound like it's this masterpiece of a game when it's.. really not. Mother 3 is a better game worth playing and deserves more praise and attention that ISN'T people being like “translate mother 3 plz!!!!”.
i despise mother

i despise mother
earthbound is my favorite snes era rpg and one of my three favorite games of all time
that being said>
i totally understand why somebody would like mother 3 or 1 better
or even dislike earthbound>
also
the mother series is like
the easiest series of rpgs ever
sure, the first game has like
some grindy bits
but it's so easy to just power through and ignore everything>
and the game is also really charming and has an incredible atmosphere and basically perfect characters>
and
i would say more but i don't really want to
